Low-Carb Diet Can Cure Type-2 Diabetes

Well, at least the bread I usually eat has a meaningfully lower GI, and is probably more filling than table sugar.
Most bread has sugar and this is why it's higher. Your bread is without sugar I presume.---I agree --there are other ways to make bread
 
Type-2 Diabetes CANNOT be cured after a certain point even with medication only in the VERY VERY early stages though strict NO-SUGAR, LOW-carb diet coupled with exercises especially weight-bearing ones, then yes the disease can be cured or at least effectively controlled even without medication.

Ultimately though, Type-2 Diabetes is a disease that is not managed by this diet, that diet, low-this, low-that or even medication. Type-2 Diabetes is managed and/or cured by discipline, EXTREME DISCIPLINE. We are talking about walking away and refuse eating anything that even has remotely ANY sugar for WHATEVER occasion. That means NO birthday cake, no chocolate, no sugar-substitute like honey, no nothing. Anything that has even ONE gram of sugar, you walk away no matter how much fun everybody else is having and/or gloating you to try it even at the risk of being ostracized and staying alone, not being able to share in any joy anyone else is having because face it, the world is littered and filled with sugar and there is no laws that forbids eating sugar vs. smoking. And eventually though once Type-2 Diabetes passes a certain point, you won't even able to to have those reserves or discipline to control yourself from eating sugar even with medication. The disease will MAKE the patient to WANT to, to reach out for sugary food. The medication towards the end doesn't really do much anymore and even if it does, its effects is not predicable anymore in that sometimes it would depress sugar level too low so at the end, that's how you eventually succumb to the disease by either having too high of sugar or too low of sugar. It's a very dreadful disease.
 
Correct. However the brain functions better on carbs.

This has been proven not true via the Keto diet studies. There is a transitionary period of brain fog as body transition from burning glucose to burning ketones but this does go away as your brain does not distinguish and "prefer" one over the other. The real issue is most people cannot maintain a state of ketosis as there is just so many ways to fall out of it based on current diets. In fact most people go in and out of regularly simply to maintain the lifestyle longer.

Fun fact... what are the only cells that truly prefer metabolizing glucose for energy over ketones and only metabolize glucose?

Cancer cells.

That alone says a lot.

It is my view that most people need to be on Metformin, whether or not they have diabetes, to control blood sugar spikes and the liver's release of sugar. These can cause cardiovascular ( and other) complications.


That is the problem. People should really try to avoid Type 2 to begin with once they are tested as pre-diabetic through proper diet and exercise and the pharma industry has created too many drugs to take the easier route and then cause multiple side effects. I am still amazed at the large number of people who take Lipitor and Crestor and never read the studies used to approve it or the side effects it causes without ever trying to control cholesterol through proper diet and exercise (not counting the tiny segment of the population that should be on it for a period of time).

I partially disagree because there are plenty of people diagnosed with Type 2 who have reversed it with significant changes to diet plus exercise. I do agree with your implied point that it should be prevented entirely when someone gets a pre-diabetic diagnosis but sadly people ignore the warning signs or avoid the doctor even.

Also people with early Type 2 and even further along do not have to go strict no sugar though it is better for them. Simply being better balanced and losing weght through exercise can allow for sugars as long as you keep testing annually glucose levels to make sure you are under control.

A good substitute for Metformin and perhaps more effective is Berberine. The jury is still out, but it looks promising.

Yes, that's why they will shoot glucose through your body and it lights up when it reaches cancer cells because they hunger for it and grab it.
